Gongsi Tianshe Bicycle Path Introduction
The Gongsi River, commonly known as Beitou River, is named after the area it flows through, Gongsi Tian. In the past, it was also referred to as Linzi River and humorously called the "Mother River of Tamsui." The area around Gongsi River was formerly known as "Dazhuang," and is filled with remnants of Tamsui's development history, which can be considered the earliest settlement in northern Taiwan by Han Chinese, dating back to the period of Dutch rule. The section on the right bank of the Gongsi River is located at the northern end of the Tamsui Golden Waterfront Bicycle Path, serving as the main route to the Tamsui New Town embankment for sea views, stretching approximately 1.2 kilometers. With the opening of the Tamsui Light Rail Blue Line last year, many visitors access the embankment to enjoy the sunset view by crossing the "Blue Sea Bridge" from Section 3 of Coastal Road or from the left bank. The Blue Sea Bridge not only spans the picturesque "Gongsi River," but also offers a direct view of the Taiwan Strait connecting to the river mouth. Located next to the V10 Tamsui New Town Station, the canal bike path known as "Guanhai Avenue" is famous for capturing the "sunset" and is a popular spot for Instagram enthusiasts. Whether you want to take a leisurely walk by the seaside or enjoy the fun of cycling while feeling the sea breeze, the bicycle paths near the Tamsui Light Rail are the perfect choice.
